Michigan to play at Duke in Big Ten-ACC Challenge

Michigan will travel to Durham, NC to face Duke in the 2013 Big Ten-ACC Challenge. The announcement was made official on Wednesday afternoon.

Michigan and Duke will face off on Tuesday, December 3rd. Times and television information for the Big Ten-ACC Challenge will be released at a later date.

Duke returns Rasheed Sulaimon, Quinn Cook, Amile Jefferson and others and adds transfer Rodney Hood and highly touted freshman Jabari Parker among others. The Blue Devils and Wolverines are both projected as a top ten team by most publications.

Cool… Some day I’d like to see U-M play North Carolina again. They used to be a rival back in the 80s when Glen Rice, etc. were there.

Agree, UNC’s style of play would also make for a very entertaining game. I can’t complain about a chance to beat Duke, though.

If the idea is to match teams of equal ranking, does this mean that UNC is projected above Duke (since MSU is projected above UM)? Or, is it based more on TV appeal?

talk about a brutal non-conference schedule

Doesn’t Duke has some kind of 100-game non-conference home winning streak intact?

On December 20, 2012, the Duke men’s basketball team extended its non-conference home winning streak to 100 with an 76-54 victory over the Elon Phoenix. It is currently the longest non-conference home winning streak in college basketball, with the last non-conference home loss coming against St. John’s on Feb. 26, 2000 when the then #2 Blue Devils lost 83-82 against the unranked St. John’s Red Storm.

poor indiana. cruel to subject them to the ‘Cuse zone again.

And they seem even less equipped to handle it this year. Not a lot of shooters on that team.

Too much isolation plays in their game they need to move the ball more… Isolation doesn’t work against Syracuse at all

Bring it on!

Something tells me that UM isn’t going to make it to the Big Ten season undefeated next year.

GO BLUE!!!!! Its alway tough on the road , but playing with the Camaron crazys thats nuts.

Take it for what’s its worth but ESPN recruiting nation just named Duke, Florida, and Michigan as the favorites for Looney. Wisconsin was also listed as a dark horse.
